Training and Education Provided by CCT

Clinical Trials Seminar Series

CCT has been conducting a series of lunchtime seminars since May 2001 to provide frontline research staff -- including investigators, study coordinators, research nurses ˇV with the latest data on Clinical Trial Methods and Good Clinical Practice. The series is also open to pharmaceutical industry personnel. Since 2005, CCT has been working with the Society of Clinical Research Associate (SoCRA) Hong Kong Chapter to co-ordinate two educational sessions each year. In year 2006, CCT arranged a series of seminars on the application of SAS programming in clinical research.

Training Workshops & Programmes

CCT continues to offer GCP, IRB, and clinical trial methodology training courses and workshops for academic and public sector clinical researchers. We have also developed a comprehensive Web-based biostatistics programme which is accessible to the entire research community to perform basic statistical analysis.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) General Training

CCT organizes clinical trial workshops from time to time to allow participants to understand the basic principles of GCP, clinical trial management and clinical trial designs. The workshops further enhance the clinical research knowledge of the frontline research staff, as well as the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Investigatorsˇ¦ Training

CCT has been working with the Hospital Authority to offer a series of training programmes for Clinical Investigators and other clinical research professionals. The programmes are designed to give clinical researchers an overview of how to conduct clinical research based on ICH-GCP guidelines. The programme familiarizes participants with GCP guidelines and shows them how to implement regulations and guidelines to produce quality clinical research.

 

Ethics Committee Training

CCT has also been working with the Hospital Authority and a number of Academic Institutions in China to offer a series of training programmes for clinical researchers who are interested in ethical issues surrounding clinical trials. The programme familiarizes participants with ethical guidelines and how they should apply these guidelines to produce ethical clinical research results.

 

GCP for Traditional Chinese Medicine

CCT works with the Hospital Authority to offer training for clinical Chinese medicine researchers. The programme was designed to give Chinese medicine researchers an overview of clinical research based on ICH-GCP guidelines, and how they apply these guidelines to produce quality clinical research in the field of Chinese medicine.

 

Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP )

ACRP aims to provide global leadership for the clinical research profession by promoting and advancing the highest ethical standards and practices. ACRP is the primary resource of data for clinical research professionals in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries, as well as those in hospitals, academic medical centers, and private physicians.

CCT is currently working closely with ACRP to explore possibilities for further collaboration on various projects. Options being considered include: seminars, educational sessions, audio conferences, certification programmes, forum activities for study coordinators, study monitors, project managers, QA/QC auditors, site managers, regulatory affairs professionals, and data managers among others. ACRP also includes the investigator in the training process and offers Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit hours covering a broad range of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) topics and human subjects protection issues.
